Louisiana Overhead Power Line Safety Act

Louisiana law (LRS 45:141-146) prohibits unauthorized persons from working, including moving equipment, within 10 feet of any high-voltage overhead electric utility line unless the following requirements are met:

Before any unauthorized person works within 10 feet of any high-voltage overhead electric utility line, the person responsible for the work to be done must notify the owner or operator of the high-voltage overhead electric utility line not less than 48 hours prior to commencing work.

Work shall be performed only after satisfactory mutual arrangements have been completed between the owner or operator of the high-voltage overhead electric utility line and the person responsible for the work to be done.

To notify us prior to working within 10 feet of a high-voltage overhead electric utility line owned or operated by Entergy, please call 1-800-ENTERGY (1-800-368-3749).
